Dear fellow voters of McHenry County,
You may be aware that your polling place has changed and that many polling places have been consolidated. The fact that polling places have changed may lead to lower turn out, and the consolidation may very well lead to congestion and longer waits at the polls.
It is these factors that cause me to encourage you to vote early. This isn't something that I have suggested in the past, but considering the complications above, I'm concerned that if more don't vote early, they won't vote at all.
The following links were valid at the time of this writing, but the Clerk's website (https://www.co.mchenry.il.us/county-government/departments-a-i/county-clerk) is the ultimate reference, You can also reach the
office at 815-334-4242.

Remember! You will have the option during this primary election to combine the office of Recorder and Clerk. I am encouraging you to vote YES for this measure. This will save the taxpayers of the county the salary, benefits and pension of one elected official FOREVER! If you've been following my political career, you are likely very familiar with this already.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call or write. You can reach me at (815) 261-4595 or Team@joetirio.com.
Kindest Regards,
Joe Tirio
Candidate for McHenry County Clerk.
